newbie getting started with solr
Sorry if this is obvious (because it isn't for me)
I want to build a solr (4.5.1) + nutch (1.7.1) environment. I'm doing this on amazon linux (I may put nutch on a separate server eventually).
Please let me know if my thinking is sound or off base
in the example folder are a lot of files and folders including the war file and start.jar
drwxr-xr-x cloud-scripts
drwxr-xr-x contexts
drwxr-xr-x etc
drwxr-xr-x example-DIH
drwxr-xr-x exampledocs
drwxr-xr-x example-schemaless
drwxr-xr-x lib
drwxr-xr-x logs
drwxr-xr-x multicore
-rw-r--r-- README.txt
drwxr-xr-x resources
drwxr-xr-x solr
drwxr-xr-x solr-webapp
-rw-r--r-- start.jar
drwxr-xr-x webapps
I am creating a separate folder for the conf and data folders (on another disk) and placing these files in the conf file
schema-solr.xml (from nutch) renamed to schema.solr
solrconfig.xml
I will use the example folder and start.jar from that location. (is this okay)
Where do I set the collection name?
What else do I need to do to get a basic web page indexer built. (I'll work out the crawling later, I just want to be able to manually add some documents and query). I'm trying to understand solr first and then will use nutch.
I have several books and have looked at the tutorial and other web sites. It seems they assume that I know where to begin when creating a new collection and customizing it.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Eric,
Solr configuration can certainly be confusing at first. And for some time
after. :P
If you're running start.jar from the example folder (which is fine for
testing, and I've known some people to use it for production systems) then
the default solr home is example/solr. This contains solr.xml, which
specifies where to find per-core configuration and data. (A core is
equivalent to a collection in a simple non-sharded setup).
For now, the easiest thing would be to use the default core in
example/solr/collection1. Copy your solrconfig.xml and schema.xml over the
ones in collection1/conf (backing up the originals for reference). Create
your data directory wherever you like and symlink it into collection1.
Now when you run $ java -jar start.jar in example/, you should be able to
access Solr at http://localhost:8983/solr/ , and add and search for
documents.
Hope that helps a bit!
Tom

Tried my book? It should explain that. You can see the collections with
examples in GitHub:
https://github.com/arafalov/solr-indexing-book/tree/master/published
Start from collection1.
